This blend of fighting styles and skills became known as mixed martial arts (MMA). Today, the UFC is the premier organization in MMA and enforces the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts without exception."

I fail to see how your 'history' does anything other than support what he said.
"Sanda was developed out of traditional Chinese martial arts and Lei Tai (“platform”) free boxing matches in the early 19th century for use by Chinese soldiers. Traditional kung fu and Lei Tai boxing were popular at the time, but also seen by military commanders as not particularly effective for hand to hand combat on the battlefield. The Sanda system grew out of Sanshou (free boxing) and included both striking and grappling techniques."
One of Wong's most popular tales is his return to Guangdong. In front of Hai Tung Monastery, Wong set up an elevated stage known as a leitai to accept challenges from any and all comers. Over the course of eighteen days, he defeated over one hundred and fifty challengers. "Either the challenger was maimed or killed," noted Chin. "He never let one challenger leave his school without injury.

After Yang, Lu-chan finished his study, he returned to his hometown and taught taijiquan for a while. People called his style Yang Style (Yang Quan, 楊拳), Soft Style (Mian Quan, 綿拳), or Neutralizing Style, (Hua Quan,化拳) because his motions were soft and able to neutralize the opponent's power.
He later went to Beijing and taught a number of Qing officers. He used to carry a spear and a small bag and travel around the country, challenging well-known martial artists. Although he had many fights, he never hurt anybody.
